Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #113

Good morning everyone!
After an extra long weekend last weekend...
this one's looking pretty short...
and busy!
It's Saturday...
and that means football!
And tonight should be the perfect night for it...
after some rain this morning we're going to be down into the mid 50's...
so I'll have to remember to pack a blanket...
maybe even bring a cup of caramel latte. ;)

And since it's Saturday that means I also get to help introduce a new sketch challenge over on the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge Blog...
and this week we have a fabulous sketch from the amazingly talented Anya Schrier...

I'm going to be honest and just say I had no idea what to do with all those circles when I first saw this...
they made me think of bubbles...
buttons...
so it only makes sense that I did this...

leaves!
OK...
and few buttons! ;)
I used the incredibly gorgeous Peace and Plenty for this one.
Colored those yummy fruits and leaves with Copics and then...
you may want to sit down for this...
I fussy cut all the leaves!
Yes!
I know!
Me?
Fussy cut!
The person who failed scissor cutting in kindergarten!
They were actually kind'a easy...
and I was surprised to find it was even a little fun!
But give me a choice between fussy cutting and a die...
I'm going to take the die every time!

I used my new Simple Stories Harvest Lane for the papers...
seriously...
I believe Simple Stories is my absolute favorite paper company these days...
a little lace...
some gingham ribbon...
and it was done!

Love the hand cut leaves,and deep blue grapes. Great choice to make an autumn card. You could have added a picture of your son and then so footballs to the side,jk. The black gingham looks wonderful. Enjoy the game tonight .

Renee, this is so beautiful! Your leaves are just amazing, and you cut them out so perfectly, I am so impressed! I too love this time of year but unfortunately we have warm weather and I would really prefer some cool and cloudy days!

LOVE IT! The coloring on the fall fruits is so pretty...especially the pear that is perfectly shaded. The leaf & button cluster is spectacular...3 cheers for some fussy cutting! The little folded gingham ribbon makes me swoon...and OH that paper! Must crack into mine SOON!

How was the game--did they win? Love the fabulous coloring on your card and all those fussy cut leaves! Great idea to use them with some buttons--makes such a fantastic fall accent! I'm SO thankful for cooler temperatures. It's finally in the 80s here with wonderfully cool evenings!
